摘要: Abstract We investigate electronic transport through single conjugated molecules, and compare our data to results of quantum chemical calculations. Conductance spectra two types molecules are studied in a metal–molecule–metal junction established using the mechanically controlled break-junction technique. observe suppressed conductance at low bias, characteristic step-like features higher voltages, strong sample-to-sample fluctuations. develop quantum-chemical model for system DFT calculations, with electrodes modelled by small clusters. consider effects different geometries molecule–metal configurations bonding as well finite electric field, thereby able account phenomenology experimental data.
